This paper examined three major approaches in moral development and proposed the new paredigm, an interpretive developmental approach. Social learning theory has been less useful in accounting for the development of both behavior and self-regulatory systems, neglecting affect-related concepts in the context of moral action. The freudian model is recognized as severely limiting when applied to the totality of mental life. Kohlberg's work based on cognitive-development theory lacks any necessary connection with moral action and overlooks human feelings. Even though these three approaches differ in their method and view of morality, they are basically adhered to the same paradigm. They regard mind and body belonged to two parallel but fundamentally different realm and adopt the empirical method. Moral development are not the results of solitary construction by individusl minds but are organized by the social interchange that people are contrantly engaged activity, and as motivated by a search for meaningfulness and fluency in practical action.
